These things you keep
YouÂ'd better throw them away
You wanna turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!

Now if youÂ're feelinÂ' weary
If youÂ've been alone too long
Maybe youÂ've been suffering from
A few too many
Plans that have gone wrong
And youÂ're trying to remember
How fine your life used to be
Running around banging your drum
Like itÂ's 1973
Well that was the river
This is the sea!
Wooo!

Now you say youÂ've got trouble
You say youÂ've got pain
You sayÂ've got nothing left to believe in
Nothing to hold on to
Nothing to trust
Nothing but chains
YouÂ're scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
Scouring your conscience
Raking through your memories
But that was the river
This is the sea yeah!

Now I can see you wavering
As you try to decide
YouÂ've got a war in your head
And itÂ's tearing you up inside
YouÂ're trying to make sense
Of something that you just canÂ't see
Trying to make sense now
And you know you once held the key
But that was the river
And this is the sea!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Now I hear thereÂ's a train
ItÂ's coming on down the line
ItÂ's yours if you hurry
YouÂ've got still enough time
And you donÂ't need no ticket
And you donÂ't pay no fee
No you donÂ't need no ticket
You donÂ't pay no fee
Because that was the river
And this is the sea!

Behold the sea!
